Hey guys, I got an offer to buy a HSGI Wasatch with a hydration carrier on another forum. I would like to know if anyone has any experience with these in airsoft use. I would like to know your experiences with said rig.

HSGI makes top-tier gear. The only complaint I've ever heard about the Wasatch is that it's very large. If you're a small guy, the Wasatch will smother you.

Im not really a small guy either. But I would like to know about accessibility of mags in the integral pouches and mobility. More people have to have these things!

I'm fairly sure its not to hard to pull the pouches out. I can't say for sure as I don't have one. HSGI does make great gear, and the quality is awesome.
I believe Relish here on the forums owns either the Wasatch or Weesatch. You can talk to him about the mag pouches.
Peope do own them, but they aren't used a whole lot. I'd say its fairly rare that I've heard of people using them in airsoft.

I'll believe it that they are rarely used for airsoft. But with the amount of money I would be spending on a PC more "geared" for airsoft, I should just get the real thing for less and add my pouches as I see fit.

I own one and is a very nice rig. Lightweight and all, It took me a while to get the straps to fit where i wanted it to but it does alright now. Only complaint I have is all the pressure of weight is on the 2 straps on your shoulders and that can get a bit tiresome (for me at least, with a bad shoulder) Pouches are good and easy to get into, though I wish the front internal pouch wasn't so deep.

Would there be enough rows of MOLLE on the front "bib" to support an admin pouch? And the person I would be buying from said he would include the shoulder straps and a hydration pouch. The only things I can think that I would add to it is possibly a different radio pouch if I dont like the location of the built in one, pistol magazine pouches and a drop pouch. Maybe a SERPA platform for my 1911 if Im feeling ambitious.

I have my radio pouch on my back on the left side. Keeps it and the wires for my head set out of the way.

Ice, you can get replacement shoulder straps that are wider and distribute the weight better: www.skdtac.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=103

Damn! Psychosis beat me to it.
Also, this rig was designed specifically for 19th SF Group to be worn over thier Interceptor Body Armor, however, it can be worn as a stand-alone.

Ok, I would like to know how you would run a belt with this carrier. I would like to get a belt so I can put a dump pouch on it.
